I'm evaluating watson and part of this to upload Wikipedia data and then ask questions of this data. To achieve this I create a conversation service :
Note the text : 'You can input: Your domain expertise in the form of intents, entities and crafted conversation'
My understanding was that I could upload piece of text , in this case a wikipedia article' and then train watson on this text. After training I can then ask questions of watson in relation to the text.
This article seems to suggest this : https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/11659/whats-the-easiest-way-to-populate-a-corpus-with-content-like-wikipedia-or-twitter.html with regard to uploading data 'You could always pull the latest wikipedia dump and upload it. You do the upload through the experience manager, which is a web UI.'.
Reading https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/29133/access-to-watson-experience-manager-and-watson-developer-portal.html states : 'Currently Watson Experience Manager is only available to Watson Ecosystem and Watson Developer Cloud Enterprise partners.' The article is dated 2014, is this still valid ? I cannot upload a piece of text and train watson against this unless I'm a 'Watson Ecosystem and Watson Developer Cloud Enterprise' partner ? My only alternative is to train watson using 'intents, entities and crafted conversation' ?
